Cracking debut from the new boy - although not seriously tested he did everything he had too very well and showed excellent quality.

Great work from the side in seizing the day and maximising the defeat of the rags. Mind the gap. 15 points. Again.

And once again shameful and inexplicable officiating- no booking for the lunge on Walker, McClean Lucky only to see a yellow as he tried to chop down Kev, Phillips on Diaz........words fail me, absolutely fail me

The objective remains. Seal the title by 7th April and smash the Stretfords. If we play again as superbly as we have done tonight as well as maintain momentum in the 3 cups, then it’s on. But. If pisspoor scattergun fatso referees continue to allow disgusting 2 footed fouls on our speeding players, El Boss will be struggling to name his strongest side. Man of the Match Laporte. Imperious.

24 goals in 29 appearances: Kun Aguero.
8 wins from 13 games required to win the league.
Gap between 1st and 2nd is now the same as the gap between 7th and West Brom.
City scored 23 goals in January and conceded 10.

"Nice performance, top performance, deserved to win. Three more points.

"All the season Kevin de Bruyne has played an outstanding level. If one of the best players run and right like Kevin does the rest follow him."

"I just had a nice chat with the official. We have a different opinion, I understand what they say but I disagree. I said what I said, insisting the same. It is what it is. We can have different opinions but in the end always respect for what they do."

"Yesterday Laporte made the first training session, just passed the ball, but today we saw how good he is. He made an amazing, amazing performance. We are so happy for him."

I have just watched the tackle on Diaz, how again is that not a red, it does make you wonder if there is a conspiracy, I mean Mclean's lunge at KDB, if he had got him like he intended then that was a career finisher.
